Gabbeh is a colorful carpet produced in southwestern Iran. An art form on the verge of disappearing, its designs are inspired by the lives and surrounding landscape of the nomadic tribesmen who make them. A woman washes one of the carpets and discovers in it the image of a beautiful girl called Gabbeh. The sad Gabbeh has been forbidden to see her beloved until her uncle returns from the big city. In the meantime, her beloved remains a distant silhouette riding against the horizon.
